CLI – Use the snmp-server user command to configure a new user name
and assign it to a group.
Configuring Remote SNMPv3 Users
Each SNMPv3 user is defined by a unique name. Users must be configured
with a specific security level and assigned to a group. The SNMPv3 group
restricts users to a specific read and a write view.
To send inform messages to an SNMPv3 user on a remote device, you
must first specify the engine identifier for the SNMP agent on the remote
device where the user resides. The remote engine ID is used to compute
the security digest for authenticating and encrypting packets sent to a user
on the remote host. (See “Specifying Trap Managers and Trap Types” on
page 5-6 and “Specifying a Remote Engine ID” on page 5-11.)
Command Attributes
• User Name – The name of user connecting to the SNMP agent.
(Range: 1-32 characters)
• Group Name – The name of the SNMP group to which the user is
assigned. (Range: 1-32 characters)
• Engine ID – The engine identifier for the SNMP agent on the remote
device where the remote user resides. Note that the remote engine
identifier must be specified before you configure a remote user. (See
“Specifying a Remote Engine ID” on page 5-11.)
• Remote IP – The Internet address of the remote device where the user
resides.
